ABSTRACT:
Furniture hinge (10) for pivotally mounting a door leaf (12) to a cupboard body whose door-side front is narrowed by a frame that projects inwardly at a right angle to the side walls. The hinge has a hinge arm (24) made of sheet metal and provided with a mounting plate (28) on the side facing the cupboard body. The mounting plate (28) can be releaseably secured in superposition with a fastening plate (34) disposed on the free end face (18) of a frame element (16) of the frame that faces away from the side wall. At least one slot-like elongated through opening (30; 36) is provided in the mounting plate (28) and in the fastening plate (34), through which opening the shank of a fastening screw (32) can be screwed into the frame element.The fastening screw can be screwed into a fixing tenon (44), which is fixed in a bore hole (46) disposed in the frame element (16) and from which there protrudes at least one guide projection, which engages in the elongated through opening of the fastening plate and is supported by the side edges of the through opening (36). A lug-like projection of an adjusting element (62) provided with a cam (66) is rotatably supported in a bearing bore disposed in the front end region of the fixing tenon (44), with the adjusting element (62) supported on the longitudinal sides of the through opening (30). The adjusting element (62) includes an actuating section located above the cam. The head of the fastening screw (32) can be screwed in clamping engagement on the top side of the actuating section.
